Hi, I’m Maria Caterina Cortiana, a passionate graphic designer and illustrator with a budding career in web design. My journey blends formal studies in comics and colorization with hands‑on projects for startups and freelance work. I enjoy transforming ideas into visually engaging graphics and intuitive interfaces.
I build organized, goal‑focused workflows to meet deadlines and deliver clear, user‑friendly websites using Wix or Elementor. I’m always exploring new opportunities in graphic design, illustration, and web design, and I’m excited to collaborate on creative projects.
